Lynda,
Do you have to use gmail to use blogger?

Phyllis it is sooo easy. And, what I like about it is that no one has to be
a "member" to get into your blog. A couple of other sites I know of and
checked out require a reader to be "registered" with them in order to be
able to read or leave messages on your blog. That is not so good, because
sometimes a person does not want to be registered, they just want to have a
look at your blog without the hassle.

Here is where to go to see it:

http://www.blogger.com

It is BLOGGER, and then after you have a blog there, it is at "blogspot dot
com" that is the end of your blog address. But, you go to blogger dot com to
write your blog, edit it or whatever you want to do. That is where your
"Dashboard" is.  Yes, Phyllis, you definitely can get a lot more attention
to your books by writing a blog. I love doing it.

Lynda.

>> the presentation side of things... bulleted lists, embedding links, etc
>> etc. any tips, advice and or other resources would be very much
>> appreciated. I would really like to make my entries more professional
